Is competitiveness of colleges/universities a dampening factor to collaboration (in mathematics research)?
Feb 2, 2016 15:18
@MikeMiller Maybe I misunderstand. But I assumed that the second author was stationed at the place Tobias had his postdoctoral stay. I.e. they were in the same location while the research for the paper took place, and then I further assumed that it being a postdoctoral stay, meant that Tobias would be leaving, which would mean they would be stationed at different places.

@TobiasKildetoft Question about how research works: The acknowledgement of your paper says that the research was done during your postdoctoral stay, does this mean you won't be doing further research with the second author, or would you do it by distance(or other if I am misunderstanding)?

@Vrouvrou Play around with it. Try fixing $\alpha \in \Bbb Q, \alpha \in (0,1]$
Jan 31, 2016 13:38
I think I am misunderstanding. You are doing research in the field of calculation of integrals, series and limits, and you are not working with anyone else on this? While your results are as copious as those of Ramanujan?
Jan 31, 2016 13:35
I see, I am surprised to hear someone could find an advisor for such a specialization.
Jan 31, 2016 13:32
So your field of research is calculus?
Jan 31, 2016 13:28
If your results are comparable in quality, to those of Ramanujan, of course.
Jan 31, 2016 13:17
@I'manartist I find this extremely unlikely. Where can I see expositions of your work?
Jan 30, 2016 17:11
I was just curious about the 'without pen and paper'. (I have no idea how that would be possible)
Jan 30, 2016 17:10
Okay, so you are doing recreational mathematics, that was the (type of) answer I was looking for.
Jan 30, 2016 17:09
Oh, I don't know what you are responding to. I meant, what is the use of solving it?
Jan 30, 2016 17:08
@I'manartist Sorry, I didn't understand this?
Jan 30, 2016 17:06
@I'manartist Why would one calculate this?
Jan 30, 2016 12:41
@byteofthat People pop in and out from my observation. If you ask, people may or may not answer depending on how busy or interested they are. Ask away.
Jan 30, 2016 06:43
@JulianRachman Regardless, I doubt you will be downvoted for that format. Think of it as covering your backside more than anything else.
Jan 30, 2016 06:39
Perhaps write out like so:

* Question

* Context

* Definitions

* Thoughts

Or some rearrangement.
Jan 30, 2016 06:37
Why don't you ask it on the main site?
Jan 30, 2016 02:41
Yes, forgot to write that
Jan 30, 2016 02:41
Oh yes I see. There are many transcendentals generated by $\pi$...
Jan 30, 2016 02:40
And the set of all transcendental elements should satisfy this property, but I could be wrong. Surely there are no algebraic elements in the set
Jan 30, 2016 02:40
And algebraic independence of a set of $n$ elements, $\{a_1,\cdots,a_n\}$ means that there exists no $f(x_1,\cdots,x_n)\in F[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ such that $f(a_1,\cdots,a_n)= 0$

Is the transcendence base of $E/F$ just the subset of $E$, consisting of all transcendentals of $E$ over $F$?

Jan 29, 2016 13:39
@TobiasKildetoft Seems reasonable. Did you fully read all of those papers btw?
Jan 29, 2016 13:39
@TobiasKildetoft That's why I asked about MM1-6, I wasn't sure if perhaps it is best to read a motivating chain of papers first.
Jan 29, 2016 13:36
@Huy That's true, but it also helps give me an indication of where I should be looking to learn these things
Jan 29, 2016 13:25
@Huy Sure, but it's hard to tell when they lead you to more words you need to google. I am sure the chain ends somewhere though.
Jan 29, 2016 13:19
I see, so normally at the level that you are producing research, all research related to your specialization is either in your vocabulary, or developed in the paper that you are reading?
Jan 29, 2016 13:16
Maybe I am lacking tenacity.
Jan 29, 2016 13:16
How many links would you expect to click to find the meaning, if there wasn't a wikipedia page? (If you've made some rough observation)
Jan 29, 2016 13:14
@TobiasKildetoft Fairly unspecific question I suppose: When reading a research paper, and coming across some concept or word you haven't come across, do you have some method of working out it's meaning, if you can't glean it from context?
Jan 28, 2016 12:26
@TobiasKildetoft To be honest, I have never read a research paper. I think since you seem active here it would be beneficial for me to read it and ask you questions, if that isn't a problem
Jan 28, 2016 11:37
For one to understand this paper, would I need to read MM1-6? (Among otherthings, I mean necessary not sufficient)
Jan 28, 2016 11:33
I see you submitted a paper 2 days ago
Jan 28, 2016 11:31
What area does your research belong to @TobiasKildetoft?
Jan 28, 2016 11:24
I shall read this, appreciated
Jan 28, 2016 11:21
@TobiasKildetoft Do two different Lie algebras ever have the same Dynkin diagram? Does the Dynkin diagram distinctly classify a Lie algebra?
Jan 28, 2016 11:07
Where can I learn about associated compact groups?
Jan 28, 2016 11:06
Oh I see
Jan 28, 2016 11:06
Oh okay
Jan 28, 2016 11:06
Okay good
Jan 28, 2016 11:06
I think the term is simply laced
Jan 28, 2016 11:05
@TobiasKildetoft So type $A$ is referring to type $A_n$ where this has dynkin diagram consisting of $n$ connected nodes
Jan 28, 2016 11:03
@TobiasKildetoft Okay, thanks, these words will give me a good starting point!
Jan 28, 2016 11:01
Basically?
Jan 28, 2016 11:00
What actually is a type $A$ Lie algebra?
Jan 28, 2016 09:55
This^
Jan 28, 2016 05:32
What's a type A Lie algebra?
Jan 28, 2016 04:38
I can't seem to get either result, that they obtained lol
